Signed along the stretcher bar along the verso.Provenance: Jacobson Howard Gallery, New York; Acquired from previous, private collection, 2009; Christie's New York, Auction 21597 "Post-War & Contemporary Art," July 7-18, 2023, Lot 215; Private California Collection.Lot Essay:Peter Young began as an abstract painter in New York City in the 1960s. While he has continuously defied categorization, he would go on to be associated with the movements of Minimal Art, Post-Minimalism, and Lyrical Abstraction.In the 1960s the artist began to incorporate elements of Pointillism and Aboriginal art to create playful compositions of circles and dots. He focused on color and density to create monumental paintings, often on a monochromatic background. These clusters of dots created dizzying patterns and clusters of color, often only visible by stepping back and allowing oneself to experience the work as a whole, rather than as individual spots of paint.Height: 84 in x width: 84 in.

He had his first exhibition in Freemantle in the early 1980s. It followed several years spent in prison, a forced confinement that gave him the opportunity to explore his art, including his print technique but in particular the development of colour in his work which subsequently became a distinctive feature of his output, distinguishing him from other Aboriginal painters. Pike co-authored a number of story books with his wife Pat Lowe, detailing traditional life in the desert. His work is widely represented in public museums across Australia, including the National Gallery of Australia, The Art Gallery of New South Wales and The National Gallery of Victoria.offered for sale without reserve
